Safari with lahiru guide - Highly recommended Lahiru for Udawalawe safari, & we would go again but for the whole day next time - it was amazing! Lahiru’s respect & knowledge of the park & animals was so helpful! He saw a baby elephant in some bushes hiding but we couldn’t spot him, so Lahiru knew to drive round the opposite side a few minutes later where the baby elephant and mother came walking straight over & no other jeeps were there to see it! As a bonus I mentioned never seeing a chameleon, but wanting to. Whilst driving Lahiru spotted one in camouflage on a tree, for us to see! We also booked with him last minute, & he organised pick up & drop off travel for us to our next destination! Made it so easy! We would definitely recommend Lahiru for Udawalawe safari, & we would go again but for the whole day next time - it was amazing! Lahiru’s respect & knowledge of the park & animals was so helpful! He saw a baby elephant in some bushes hiding but we couldn’t spot him, so Lahiru knew to drive round the opposite side a few minutes later where the baby elephant and mother came walking straight over & no other jeeps were there to see it! +94762726799

Wonderful Safari Trip - Very nice Trip with Shameera (+94 (76) 481 0350). We took the morning tour at 6am, entrance fee was 11000 rs per person. Shameera speaks english and a bit german. Binoculars, water and Cookies were included for us. We arrived first in a couple of spots and were alone with the wildlife because Shameera is one of the fastest drivers there. Seen elephants, buffalos, crocodiles, jackals, monkeys and a lot of brids. We recommend this tour and would do it again. Thank you Shameera for this wonderful trip!

Wasgamuwa Safari - For my first safari it was great! We saw many bird species, wild boars, deers, buffalos. We saw few elephants but a bit far away, I advice too choose the tour on the evening in order to get close to the elephants. Great staff! Thank you Lakpura

So many Elephants! - We booked a three hour safari at Wasgamuwa for two people online and the process was very easy. We immediately received an email confirmation and then a WhatsApp message to say hello and then an introduction to our guide. Location for meet up was provided as well. We arrived a little early and there was a little confusion at the ticket counter (we were self driving a rented tuktuk and the officials thought we wanted to do a self guided tour in the park!). Our guide arrived promptly and sorted the situation and we were on our way. There was a driver, the guide, my husband and myself (we had booked a tour for up to six people, but ended up with a private Jeep!). The safari itself was everything we had hoped for. We saw many elephants, a crocodile, herds of deer, monitor lizards, wild boar, monkeys and SO MANY BIRDS! Just amazing. The only issue I could mention is that neither the guide nor the driver had much English and so while we were told the names of the flora and fauna, we couldn’t ask specific questions about what we were seeing and so it was a little frustrating. That said, the experience was wonderful. We were literally the only Jeep there until the very end when we saw one other tour. The animals were relaxed and you could see them very close up and get great photos. I followed up with the director to let him know how much we enjoyed and also to get his lovely guide some English lessons to help make the experience even better. Highly recommend.
